February, 1988

A PROUD MOMENT!

Excited students watched as the signwas raised at the entrance to our new

campus in preparation for the November22, 1987 dedication ceremonies. Purchased by our X. Club student organization, the sign culminated five yearsof work and fund raising — and dreaming of this moment.

President Margaret Kelley and immediatePast President Richard Birkholm, Jr.aided by Advisors from the sponsoringKiwanis Club of Greater Anaheim un

veiled the sign during the ceremonies.

Among K Club community service projectswas the gathering of food for needyfamilies at Christmas time. The K

Club is also planning to buy a flagpole for the new campus. K Club membersare earning money by putting out amailing for Long Financial Services.Newspapers and cans are being collected each Tuesday evening as a K Clubfund raiser.

UNICO NATIONAL COLLEGE

Unique?From Staff meeting January 18:UNITY OF PURPOSE - Everyone concernedwith the college works together;*Staff work with each others and are

supportive of each other to accomplishgoals for students;*Students work to help each other(know each others' strengths and weaknesses and want to help);*Staff and students work together,are in tune with each other and support each other;TOGETHER WE CREATE A SAFE ENVIRONMENTFOR GROWTH — There is a strong emotion of caring and love permeatingthe campus.

PEOPLE C^ AND DO CHANGE — especiallyour students.

THE STUDENT MUST SUCCEED!

We try to plan instruction so studentsalways succeed — but they learn thateveryone makes mistakes and that'so. k.

*We must help every student achievea positive self-concept, then manyproblems will disappear— CHANGE ATTITUDES ON THE INSIDE AND

BEHAVIOR ON THE OUTSIDE WILL CHANGE.

IF THE STUDENT ISN'T LEARNING (ANDENJOYING IT), WE NEED TO TRY A DIFFERENT WAY OF IMPARTING THE KNOWLEDGE.

*Student learning is our responsibility — it's not the student's fault(potential, talent, behavior, etc.)if he/she doesn't learn.*There are many inputs (i.e. all thesenses) — how many can we use at once*We don't "label" (limit) students.^Intense motivation can overcome the

"impossibTe,"

WE USE STUDENT PERFORMANCES TO HELP

STUDENTS AND TO INSPIRE AND EDUCATE.

*Increase students' feelings of self-worth. Show what our students have

to contribute.

*Inspire others to use latent talentsand potential.

WE USE AREAS OF GREATEST STRENGTH TO

HELP STUDENTS LEARN IN AREAS WHICH

ARE HARDEST FOR HIM/HER.

INFORMATION FORPROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

We work with students who havecompleted their years in publicschool. As the only private fine artscollege for gifted persons with mentalretardation, we are interested infinding students who truly enjoymusic, drama, dance and art. The finearts are used in teaching othersubjects such as reading, spelling,math and money, as needed.

Since moving into our new campus, weare gradually adding full-timestudents. The Unico National Clubs,largest Italian-American serviceorganization in—the-U.S.A. purchasedthe campus and lease it to us for $1 ayear. We have an auditorium, gymnasium, twenty classrooms and offices.

There is a half-acre of land on whichwe plan to build an independent livingtraining facility within the nextthree years to house students comingfrom a distance away. Our program istotally supported by privatedonations.

We have a committee of persons withexpertise in the various areas of finearts who will become acquainted withprospective students and makerecommendations on their acceptance inthe program. Tuition is currently$600 per trimester.

Our schedule is that each of the three

trimesters will include vacations -

Spring trimester (Feb.- June) a weekat Easter time; Summer trimester(June-Oct.) two weeks plus additionaltime to the Monday after Labor Day;and Winter trimester (Oct.- Feb.) twoweeks at Christmas time.

We plan for a major review each twoyears to determine if students willbenefit by further training. Somewill probably remain with us, findingemployment through the arts. Otherswill return to their home towns toenrich their communities, perhaps tobe the core of other performing groupsand activities.

At the present, students make theirown living and transportationarrangements as we do not yet have ourliving facility built on campus. Wesuggest a visit to our area soprospective students can sit in onclasses for two or three days andpossible living arrangements can beinvestigated.

You ask,"WHAT IS UNICO NATIONAL?"

Besides being warm and wonderful friendsto our students and all of us, we'dlike to tell you more about them.

Unico National is a nationwide serviceorganization, similar to Lions, Kiwanis,and Rotary. Its membership is Americanmen of Italian extraction, or men married to women of Italian extraction,of good character and reputation, united together in a national chain, working jointly on national projects andseparately on community activities.It is non-political and non-sectarian.

Unico National grants scholarshipawards, recognizes outstanding individuals, participates in underprivilegedand handicapped children's work, charities, community and civic activities,mental health programs, and promotesgood fellowship among members.

Membership is open to business men,professional men, educators and laymen.The name, Unico, translated from theItalian, means "one" or "only" or "onlyone of its kind." Additionally, theletters are interpreted as "U" - Unity;"N" - Neighborliness, "I" - Integrity;"C; - Charity; "0" - Opportunity,

Unico was organized in 1922 in Water-bury, Connecticut. On July 4, 1947it was united with the National ItalianCivic League and Unico National wasborn.

Hope University - Unico National Collegeis one of their major charities. TheUnico National Foundation and Clubshave purchased a campus for us. Nowour challenge is to find sources offunding to run the college and takeadvantage of this beautiful location.

Dear Rose, Jerry, and Tim:

I'm asking again. Asking the nearly impossible. Remembering the effectyou had on the churches in Poland, and that wonderful service in the homefor the handicapped in Warsaw, I'm asking you to come to New Zealand withme in November of this year.

The occasion is the World Convention of Churches of Christ. This is a

once-every-four-years meeting of brethren from the acapella churches ofChrist, from our churches, and from The Christian Church (Disciples).This is our only regular occasion when all three branches of the Restoration Movement come together, and it is important for that reason. Peoplewill be coming from all over the world, and I'd really like for you tobe there and be on the program, and have all those pe(^e hear Tim play.

I'm sure that once your decision is made and contacts begun in NewZealand, that there will be many opportunities for you to serve inchurches down there, and in homes for the handicapped, hospitals, andother institutions. You have so many contacts in this country that I amcertain once the word gets out that you will be coming "down under,"invitations will come from numerous sources.

So, you have a double reason -- the convention, and these otheropportunities -- for saying "Yes" to this invitation. Your responsecould be the same as mine: "If the Lord permit, I will go."

Remember the good you accomplished in Poland, and the joy of thosefaces over there. And think about what you will be able to do"down under."

Let's do it,>

COLOSSALpetite NOTEBOOK

MAY 1988

"Be sure to save the date. . . in 19881" These words were spokento us four years ago as we returned from the mission tour to Austria,Poland, and Germany. Rod Huron, our dear friend and tour leader,was the one who was planting the seed in our minds. It lay dormantfor three years, but it appears it is time for cultivation andblooming. (Shall we call it a quad-ual?)

Rod's next overseas tour was scheduled to Auckland, New Zealand, inconnection with the World Convention of Churches of Christ andChristian Churches. Rod's letter seen elsewhere, explains the purpose

As 1988 unfolded. Rod reminded us of this opportunity of service.It was not something we had pushed aside since 1984, but the future1988 had seemed so very far away. Suddenly, it was NOW. If we weregoing, plans had to get underway 1

We prayed and talked at length about it and with Tim and had noreservations whatsoever about the opportunities that we would have.We would be thrilled and blessed by the convention, and the thoughtof Tim sharing his marvelous gift with so many thousands of peoplefrom all over the world made us tingle with excitement 1 In additionto the convention, there would be many other performances; interviewswith parents, doctors and others of the medical profession, peoplewith various handicaps themselves; as well as media opportunities.We would meet educators, social workers, government officials, andthose involved in care of this special population. We would stressChristian education for these people.

Tim was excited from the moment we asked him about it. As a seasoned

traveler, he got along perfectly in Europe, even though iced tea wasHARD to come by. Of course, he wanted to know for SURE and asked,"Are we going to go?" We told him we had to pray about it more andthat it was a tremendous amount of money, and we felt we needed somereassurance that it was the Lord's will for us to go. Tim remindedus that the Lord has always given us just what was needed; however,for another month we prayed. We learned we would need a payment of$250.00 to assure space. We also needed to reserve airline ticketsto avoid $150.00 per person increase. All this was before March 31st.

On March 19th a very dear friend, Wilma Roddy, passed away. Herfamily chose Tim as a recipient of memorial gifts in her honor."Aunt Wilma," as we called her, was one of the first to send a contribution and letter of encouragement when we went to Poland. Aftertalking to her granddaughter, we felt sure this was the Lord's wayof saying, "GO." We still felt overwhelmed with the $750.00 we hadto have to assure the air fare.

On March 27th we had our annual concert at Community Christian Churchin Hemet, California, Gene Maples, minister. As I gave an update onour work, I told of different opportunities and asked for very earnest

prayers for a proposed trip to New Zealand and that we would make theright decision. I said nothing about money needed. Can you imaginethe excitement and tears of joy when the treasurer told us the offeringwas the largest for such an affair the church had ever had. The amountof the evening's income (offering and tape sales) was an astounding,yes, COLOSSAL $720,001 Tim's words, "The Lord will give us what weneed when we need it!" made my head whirl. Had the concert not beenscheduled on March 27th and the offering so generous, we would havedeclined the opportunity. There simply would have been no funds tomake the reservations. As far as Tim is concerned, you are ALWAYSand TOTALLY in God's care. It takes no more faith to go to New Zealandthan it does to go to Disneyland. He is always there and will alwaysprovide. In prayer that night Tim said simply, "Lord, give us whatwe need to serve you in New Zealand." What a simple prayer. Itcovers everything! Our Lord is not complex either.

Pertinent information: Flight will leave L.A.X. on October 27th.We return to the U.S. on November 8th. As we go, there will be astop in Honolulu and returning, a stop on Fiji Islands. Total costyet to be raised is $5,000.00.

At first, the thought of raising the money stood in the way of planningwhat we might accomplish for our Lord. We have simply turned it overto Him and His people and are praying and working for a successfuland safe tour.

As you see from the beginning, I said EXTRA. This is an extra specialNotebookl It demands an extra measure of prayer, faith, and actionon the part of all of us. Petite is, of course, just a little bit.Well, this is just a little bit of a letter, isn't it (at least forme)? COLOSSAL reflects power - we shall reflect the power of Godthrough youl COLOSSAL also suggests stupendous or incredible - howaptly this depicts the opportunities I COLOSSAL also means to anastonishing degree. I believe that God will astound us all withthe plans He has. In fact, I can hardly wait to start writing andtelling you about it.

2 Corinthians 5:7, "for we walk by faith, not by sight. . . ." (KJV)

With love and prayers for you and yours.._always.,. _

AUGUST 1988In the quietness, before drifting off to sleep, so many

times a thought will invade my drowsiness. At first it isin my subconscious state, but then it penetrates deeper,and I am almost wide awake from the question, "I wonderhave I done my best for Jesus today?" I feel fairly safein saying maybe I did! But then as I rethink the day, byHis standards of total excellence and commitment I know

I fall far short even though a deep desire to meet Hisprecepts is ever present. So many times I hear people say,"You are where you are because that is where God wantsyou to be!' Of course, this allows us to blame all of ourfailures and lack of self-discipline on our Lord. Thebalance is we do need to allow the Lord to lead us and

have the judgement and wisdom that He will direct ourpaths. Far too often His direction does not come forthas quickly as we want, and we are not patient in waiting.Oh, we find, and I am sure you do too, that serving Himis a glorious experience but one that we find a learningone. We learn from our mistakes and sincerely ask Himto forgive us and just pray that, "Yes, Lord, I have donemy best for you, but I KNOW I can and will do betterwith your help. Forgive my mistakes!" With that, sleepcomes easily.... "For it is for this we labor and strive,because we have fixed our hope on the living God,who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers!'(2nd Timothy 4:10 N.S.V.)

1988 TAKES OFF WITH A BUSY GAIT

As I looked for our last newsletter to see where I needed

to pick up news, I was astounded we had written itNovember 1987! All that needs to be covered in this will

be impossible, but Til do my best to highlight some ofthe occurrences. We had our annual folding after the rush

Tim Baley and Steve AllenMay S, 1988

Beverly Hills HotelBenefit Jeffrey Foundation, Los Angeles, California

of the Christmas concerts, but in no time body and soulwere raring to go.

OUR EYES WERE IN FOR QUITE A SURPRISE!

There is so much that has happened that those of youwho do not get our regular monthly letter are unawareof the continuation of Tim's progress in the Visual Arts.If you recall, he has always drawn, but his pictures weremostly trucks, busses, buildings and once in awhile a grandpiano. We praised him, as he did do well, but we did notencourage him. We were just grateful he was developingin piano, and that was far more than we had ever dreamedwould happen. You may recall the beginning came atChristmas 1986. He received gifts from various friendsand family, and he knows a thank-you note is always amust. In our conversation about writing them, I said,"Tim, bring the note to me, and I'll write a note, too!'I had forgotten to give him stationery, but shortly hereturned, laid the note on my desk, and said, "Here's thenote, Mom!' I looked at it and said, "Where'd you get thatbeautiful stationery?" Then I saw his autograph! I calledto him and told him how beautiful it was, and I sure didneed Christmas cards. I asked if he could make us some.

He was all for that. I assumed all the cards would be one

design! Not so, each and every one he did was different.He continued all through the holiday season, and soonthe Hi Hopes started selling them on their table. Hecouldn't keep up with them. In the fall of 1987, we hadeight different cards printed, and various organizationsuse them as fund raisers.

As time passed that year, more and more people saidhe needs to enter art shows and contests; soon he wasdoing large pictures. The Hi Hopes played at PitzerCollege (one of the five Claremont Colleges) in Claremont,California. After the concert Tim enjoyed lunch with oneof the young professors, Dr. Steve Edelson. A few dayslater he called asking if Tim would be available and havepaintings to exhibit for an art show and reception. Thiswas to be a showing of works of 'Savant' artists. I toldhim we had a concert but would gladly get Tim's workto him. He said, "Oh, we will have the show wheneverTim can come. You can't have a reception without theartist!' So, February 10, 1988, was truly a debut—Tim'svery first art show. What a surprise! We shared this event

1st Place Winner

Carson, California"Carson Therapeutic Art Show 88"

Carson Councilman John Anderson & Tim

with an excellent artist, Richard Wawro, of Great Britain.He was not there, but his agent/representative, Dr.Laurence Becker, is a man we had looked forward tomeeting for many years. We met him via telephone whenwe still lived in Texas. Our paths never crossed, thoughhe was from Austin. Tim could not believe he was not

going to be playing the piano. I told him not this time,this was just art. I ate my words for there just happenedto be a piano, and the color of music spoke vividly as oneviewed the lavish color of his art! It was a successful and

fun event!

What has amazed us all is he has had no art lessons

and only in rare instances uses a ruler. Diagnostic testsreveal because of his brain damage, cerebral palsy andmental retardation, he should not be able to comprehendor do geometric or abstract designs; compounding thisare severe visual problems, but even so his perception isastounding! His mind explodes as ALL of his paintingsdevelop with a musical motif. My best description is he popsthem out like pop corn, yet each continues to be different.

Claremont College was the beginning of many art showsand contests. Dad and I have really run to keep abreastof all the various opportunities for Tim. To date, he haswon eight awards, which have included first, second, thirdand honorable mention. Each exhibit or show is an excitingexperience.

For many years we have been involved in Very SpecialArts (musically) but more recently in the visual arts, too.Our California 'Very Special Arts' had a fund raiser, andTim was among the artists who were invited to exhibit.It was held in Beverly Hills at the Hanson Gallery onRodeo Drive. This is a dream of a Hfetime for most artists

and was certainly an electrifying and encouragingexperience for Tim, as throngs of people viewed the awe-inspiring works of all the artists. The Hanson Gallery, ofcourse, were hosts par excellence, and we commend themfor honoring these special artists!

Almost daily it seems new opportunities unfold, andwe step forward with each one. The invitation to hang hiswork in the Fullerton Public Library from August 2-31was another delight. This is done in a small auditorium.The room also has a lovely grand piano in it, and the wallspace is reserved for hanging art. The lady who wasarranging for Tim's exhibit, suggested he also give aconcert. Of course, that pleased him, so a concert andreception was set for Sunday, August 21, 1:30-4:00 p.m.,with a concert at 2:30. Because the program is unique,the library is doing the publicity. We have surely enjoyedworking with them. I know it will be another time thatfond memories will Hnger. We will place the book I wrotein the library so that it will be available to the public.

ON WITH THE YEAR—MUCH MORE TO HEAR

We had a flying trip to Wichita, Kansas, April 7-9. Itwas such a pleasant and easy trip. Best of all, no earthquake to rattle us this time as we prepared to go. TheKansas State Convention for the Handicapped invited usto give our workshop and Tim to present a concert. Ouronly complaints: time too short and people too nice toleave behind! How the Lord blesses us.

The international magazine MESSENGER OF ST.ANTHONY (pubhshed in Italy) accepted a story. Thatencouraged my feeble attempt at writing! It was printedin the July/August 1988 issue. Included is a picture of adarling baby sitting at the piano. It was not Tim, however.In fact, at that age, he would have probably torn the keysoff the piano.

The decision to trek over to New Zealand was made

for the affirmative on March 31. We'll update this later.Very Special Arts from Washington D. C. came in

December and did a movie. We have no idea what it was

for or if it will be placed in a drawer and stay there. Acrew of five was flown out from Washington to film. Whatfun we had.... Now the wait to know how, when, or ifthey use it.

Alyce Morris, head of the Jeffrey Foundation, hasbecome a dear friend. She called, after getting one of Tim'snote cards, and asked that they might reproduce it as aninvitation for their annual fund raiser for the organization to benefit handicapped children. Naturally, we saidyes. Then another question... .Could Tim come and playthat night? Again, a yes. Then she said, "I have one morequestion... .Could we showcase him with Steve Allen?"

Tim presenting Steve Allen with a picture he picture he painted for him.May 5, 1988 at Beverly Hills Hotel Fund Raiser

What excitement for Tim! He loves Steve and has alwaysadmired his piano artistry.

The time did drag, and seemed so far away.But alas, it did come to pass...There is so much to say about that day,But, ril simply say, t'was GREAT in EVERY WAY!

Just the beauty of the dazzling and renowned BeverlyHills Hotel, where it was held, was in itself magnificent;but adding Tim's privilege to share in this joyous, momentous occasion left us with misty eyes as he finished hisperformance. Tim's mind is full of prayer before he playsno matter where he is. The Lord empowered him to dowell. His only part of uncertainty was when he gave Stevea painting he had made him. He searched for words andthen said, "I don't really know what to say, Steve, but hereis a picture I painted for you, and I hope you like it. I'mso glad I got to meet you and play for you!' There wasa standing ovation, resounding applause, and Tim blushed,as Steve very graciously thanked him.

Early the next day the phone rang... "Mrs. Baley, Ihear your son was a smashing success last night. I wantto book him!" The young man speaking said it was fora big benefit in L.A., and there would be many celebritieson the show. The biggest name would be Elton John. I

thanked him for his compliments and asked the date. Hewas a bit surprised when, after checking our calendar, Isaid I was very sorry, Tim was booked for a conventionin Cincinnati the same night, but I would check with Tim.1 assumed his priorities were such that he would play forthe church convention, rather than this event, if there hadto be a choice, but the final decision was his. He was sothrilled to be asked but said, "Oh, I hope I can play withhim another time!' Case closed....

PREPARATION then DESTINATION

We had waited for so long—then it was time for the NorthAmerican Christian Convention. We were excited, ofcourse, to go to the convention, but additionally we wouldget to see mother. Our day of departure from L.A.X.(early!), June 29th, was perfect, and we arrived inCleveland and journeyed to Canton, to my brother Clyde'sand wife Wanda's home. Mother had been transferred to

the Canton Christian Home. Her address is:

Mrs. Elva Brechbuhler

Canton Christian Home

2550 Cleveland Ave. N.W.

Canton, Ohio 44709-9988

We had hoped and prayed for this for a long time.Concerts at the Canton Christian Home (June 30) and

the Hanover House (July 1), where she was, are routineeach time we go back. Travel to Columbus on SaturdayJuly 2, gave us a nice rest for July 3rd. Two church servicesplus a BIG party with the class of mentally retarded atthe Beechwold Church of Christ, followed by a delightfuland relaxing lunch with minister Drury Benton and hiswife Mickie. Fairfield, Ohio, (near Cincinnati) was not apressing drive for the evening concert. It was great to returnto both of these churches. Meeting Fairfield's new ministerand wife, the David Cordrey's, and sharing fellowship withShirley and David Phillips makes this such a day of joyto recollect.

Next (July 4th) into Cincinnati and set up our boothfor the convention. The air was full of what seemed to

be pulsating, vibrant sensations as Christian friends, oldand new, greeted each other. Cherished LOVE wasEVERYWHERE for the next five days. Hugs, laughter,reminiscence, sharing, caring, anticipation etc. It was nonstop talk, but all too brief was the time. Our workshop,Friday afternoon, which we shared with Shirley (Mrs.David) Phillips, was a rich experience for us!

The end of the convention had come all too quickly(even though we were physically exhausted), and it wasthe night for Tim to perform on the elegant Baldwinconcert grand. Every conceivable dimension of perfectionand detail had been planned and orchestrated to make thisthe crowning service of the convention. Tim felt sohonored and humbled to be privileged to play. The massiveaudience was sensitive to all phases of the program, andhe was spurred on by their vibrant response! The musicians so capably led us to His throne in singing and sentgoose bumps up our spines, ending with a lump in thethroat. Every participant on the program had perfectlyprepared us for the steps that we would follow throughthe program. Soon we experienced the thrill of being takento the pinnacle of the mountain as the area deaf choirsigned flawlessly, We Shall Behold Him.

Shortly thereafter it was time for Tim. I don't knowwhy, but the butterflies that I had in my stomach (Timdidn't have any) suddenly were gone, as I prayed earlier,"Lord, you directed and brought us here, and I know you'llbe with Him!' In a previous service we were blessed bya powerful soio from a young man on crutches, and theparticipation by our black friends brought us to realizewords could not describe what we had witnessed; however,the glistening eyes and tearstained cheeks told the story.A deep realization that God can and will use our talentto His glory, no matter what our handicap or backgroundis, if it is dedicated to Him.... And He did! When Timfinished, he looked at me and said, "Mom, did I do o.k.for the Lord?" I just winked.

Several have asked if a video is available. Yes, there is,and you may write to:

They will give you information. REQUEST: Friday P.M.(July 8, 1988) Worship Service.

Back to Canton on Saturday and a concert with ourfriends at Perry Christian Church on Sunday A. M. Spentour afternoon with mother, capped off with a wonderfulvisit and "good food" with our "forever friends" Aliceand Paul Wiener. Next day clothes packed and lunch withmother. So hard to leave, but plane wouldn't wait. Abeautiful flight and soon we were home. We talked: my!So many things happened in so little time, so many milestraveled, so many opportunities, so many ways He caredand provided. Our God is boundless, limitless, and oh so,tolerant.

Mother is adjusting to her new lovely surroundings.Naturally she missed her Hanover House friends, but shehas many friends at the Canton Christian Home so thateased her adjustment. Address above. Write her a HELLOnote, she loves mail! Don't we all? She was in her glorywhen Tim played, and she kept him at the piano!

SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE

We have been promising a new cassette tape a long while.Finally we accomplished this goal! We think you'll enjoythe many sacred favorites on it. The title is "FARTHERALONG". Jerry said certainly Tim is farther along, andthat song is most appropriate! Dad accompanies on theguitar some, he sings and Tim accompanies him on TheCircuit Ridin' Preacher, and we do a duet of The Loveof God. The other songs are Majesty, Chariots of Fire,Tell Me the Story ofJesus, Jesus Loves Me, I'll Fly Av^ay,Shelter in the Time of Storm, Bridge Over TroubledWaters, Fill My Cup Lord, Because He Lives, New Wine,Old Rugged Cross, Something Beautiful, Over In GloryLand Medley, We Shall Behold Him, and of course, asin every concert, so on every tape, will be Tim's favoriteHow Great Thou Art.

THERE'S MORE!!!

Another unfulfilled promise, "We WILL make aChristmas tape, honest," is about to be realized. It, too,has been a long time coming, but the Lord willing, it willbe ready, hopefully, before we leave for New ZealandOctober 27. If not, we will mail it as soon as we returnin plenty of time for Christmas. Just be prepared forbeautiful Christmas music when you hear, "CHRISTMASSTYLINGS by TIM". We hope you ENJOY them both!Prices on the order blank.

YET TO COME

The fall is always a heavy time for performance. TheHi Hopes are busy, and Tim's schedule is equally such;thus up until Christmas there is little free time.

Our next out of town trip will be to the NationalMissionary Convention in Dallas. The convention ismeeting September 25-28.

Hi Hopes to Canada, October 11-14.Tim—American Baptist Assembly, Greenlake,

HOPE UNICO BOOSTERS*HARVEST HOEDOWN

Parents and Friends of our college got togetherto start a new organization - The Hope UnicoBoosters. I don't think we*ve ever seen a morecreative and active group of people! They areearning their acronym, "HUB".

Officers are; Lois Powers, President; LarryActon, Vice-President; Lou Enderson, Treasurer;and Julie Blackburn, Secretary.

For their first project, the Boosters rode intotown with a "Harvest Hoedown" in our gymnasium,on Sunday afternoon, October 30 from 2 to 5p.m., featuring square dancing and singing byall the students.

J^r^nn QuakCarol Abraham helping. Max Maxwell, whofounded our Discovery Twirlers square dancers,showed why he has become so popular as aCaller, and his wife, Jean assisted. I thinkalmost everyone connected with the college musthave been there helping, including our Board!

There was lots of Western dress among thoseattending, and everyone devoured their share ofhotdogs, soft drinks and free popcorn — andhad a great time. A raffle was started of ahand made quilt made by the Boosters, underLaurie Jeskey*s instruction. Edith Oilman,Fundraising Chairman, began selling coffee mugswith college logos and 2 for 1 Entertainmentbooks, among other items.

Student crafts were sold including various"Chocolate Memories" — such as roses, cars,Christmas shapes. They look great for festivetable decorations, gifts, etc. Crafts chairman

^ao^rty Argelander^ assisted by Becky Cantbier^,has been working with the students on variouscrafts projects, including "bean bag type"frogs which were sold.

Congratulations to a wonderful bunch ofBoosters for a job well done! If you wish tojoin them, dues for the year are $15 a couple,$10 for a single person.

DECEMBER 1988

HOLIDAY GREETINGS

I have fond memories of a song that we sang and actedout with gusto as children in Bible school. Its first wordswere "I have the JOY, JOY, JOY, JOY down in my heart.WHERE? Down in my heart. WHERE?".. .and so itwent, using different stanzas as it continued to build itsmessage. How descriptive this little melody is of ourhearts! Wehave hardly been able to contain ourselves sincereturning from the New Zealand tour. What countries!What people! What opportunities! What blessings! Letme tell you....

It seemed we were forever getting ready, and we weregrateful our flight wasn't out until evening! Our trustylittle alarm did its duty, but with anxious anticipation sleepwas light, and we didn't really need it. A hectic day, butFINALLY at 5:15 P.M. we sat back and relaxed ('twas anice change) for the trip to L.A.X. Just knewthere wouldbe all kinds of traffic and traffic jams. NOT SO! We sailedright through. What a relief! Wewere met by Rod Huron(He was responsible for our going to the convention.) andothers of the group who had arrived early from Cincinnati. Those we already knew were Sam Stone, Bill Moody,Edwin Hayden, and joining later, Betsy and Ray (Cotton)Jones. Check in and shedding our bags at Air NewZealand was easy and welcome. We then joined Rod andthe group at a restaurant where we took up residence untildeparture time at 9:30, later changed to 10:15.

BOUND FOR ALOHA LAND!

The gigantic, captivating plane with 400 seats offereda relaxing, comfortable flight as we winged our way to

Tim at Fullerfon, CAArt Show

Hawaii, first stop. Arrival at Honolulu found us wideawake even though it was 12:30A.M. (They are two hoursbehind us.) To think one is over that water in so little time!Luggage soon collected, and we sped off to our hotel. Oh,it was so beautiful, large and clean! Tim said, "I'mhungr} '̂ Bed is more inviting at 2:15 A.M. we assured him.

What a beautiful and warm, clear day we awakened to,not early but 8:45 not too bad. A well-planned tour withdriver, Cousin Koeo. Ail mainland people are referred toas cousins since Uncle Sam is now their uncle, too. Thatmakes us cousins. Beginning with the lovely Universityof Hawaii, we then wound our way to Monoa Valley—such a spectacular view and stately homes, on to Punchbowl Crater, the National Cemetery of the Pacific,downtown Honolulu, followed by Chinatown, the financial district, the Capitol building, and the Governor's Mansion, all such interesting sights. The lolani Palace, whichcontains the only royal throne in the U.S., really capturedour eyes and closed the impressive tour. Everyoneon theirown, so a bunch of us heard excellent reports on therestaurant, "The Great Wok of China!' The delectablefood, cooked right at our table, was devoured by all, andmany (not me) braved using chopsticks. The fabulousshopping center the restaurant was in overwhelmed Tim.He walked off his supper seeing it!

Up early the next day in preparation of our concertwhich was held at the Academy of the Arts Theatre inHonolulu. Meeting the lovely people who arranged andplanned the concert was, as we anticipated, a delightful,pleasing experience. Another blessing—our dear friendfor years, Jessica Floyd, principal of Sunset Beach Christian School, and new friends, Barbara and Keith Clawson,came. We had hoped Jessica could come. As I was talkingto Maria Haight, concert organizer, at a distance a

beautiful, familiar face appeared. My first thought wasJessica, but Jessica appeared. She came closer.. .what awonderful surprise.. .here she was... MY COLLEGEROOMMATE in Phoenix, Arizona, Betty Canary. We didsettle down and have a concert. The wonderful Hawaiian

friendliness and graciousness surrounded us as did thebeautiful, traditional leis they placed around our necks.The superb, grand piano and audience response to Tim'sconcert inspired him, and he had a tremendous time. Weimmediately felt a real friendship and shared mutualefforts with all the Very Special Arts workers in Hawaii.There wasn't much time, but we packed in a good visitas we ate with Jessica, Betty, and the Clawsons. Addingto the elation of being together was the magnificence ofthe ocean before our eyes. How we thanked God for sucha wondrous day!

Back to the hotel to get our bags together. At 10:00 P.M.the tour members all met in a hotel room to share in

worship and communion before embarking across thePacific. We would have not Sunday since we were to crossthe dateline. There was such JOY, JOY, JOY, JOY downin our hearts. God's presence was so felt as we prayed,sang, shared His word and communed together. 11:30P.M.all the bags and our bodies loaded on the bus and offto the airport. Passport and ticket check followed for ourflight at 1:30 A.M. BUT they said there was a fuel leak.We gladly waited as it's a long way across that water.

ON TO NEW ZEALAND

At 2:30 A.M. off on another lovely biggie. A tasty snack,even at that time, was well received. Who wanted to sleep!Air New Zealand surely must receive good marks, especially in food service. Breakfast at 6:00 A.M. prepared uswell for our "NOW" MONDAY in Auckland, NewZealand. I wasn't sure what meal I was eating, what timeit actually was, or what day it was, but there was no reasonto really care. I told Tim just eat when they feed you andkeep setting your watch, and everything will be fine (Ithink). We were the last ones to go through customs andfound that Tim's art work presented a problem! They musthave thought it was stolen. Finally, we showed them hisconcert brochure with his name and picture on it. All waswell. A new bus, which was absolutely elegant—every inchcarpeted, even window ledges—delivered us to our hotelin Auckland. We were greeted with cool, rainy weatherbut such warm hospitality. Feelings of jet lag began toengulf us, and bed sounded fine for Jerry and me but notTim. He wanted to see Auckland. Rain had stopped, sowe walked a bit, and then all folded. The day followingwas free to recoup.

Practice is essential for Tim, so he and Dad gotacquainted with the piano he would be playing at the convention banquet, and then we prepared for an eveningconcert. John Fulford, minister of the Mairangi BayChurch of Christ in Auckland, graciously served as our

Tim and Jacqui Parker at a concert in New Zealand

contact person and helped with the concerts. He took usto the Northcote Baptist Church where the concert washeld. The Christian Fellowship for the Disabled (a Christian association for ALL handicapped people) sponsoredthe concerts. As we arrived, we met Di Willis, a vibrcmt,radiant, beautiful blast of sunshine and energy. We feltlike our families have been friends for always. Di, husbandHugh, and children, Jenny, David and Andy, have giventheir home and lives to witness and develop Christianactivities for the disabled. Di scheduled concerts after John

contacted her. The excitement of the concert was surelyfelt as we greeted those who came, and it continued tobuild throughout. Tim was so humbled by the response.

The convention began Wednesday evening, and the mainsessions were held in the stately, picturesque town hall ofAuckland. Certainly makes you think of the turn of thecentury. I expected to see President Lincoln walkingaround! The convention was good for the soul, but adimension of physical fitness was added. How amazedwe were to find almost 45 degree angle hills. (Actually theywere itty-bitty mountains that drifted over from Colorado.)You couldn't get from the hotel to the town hall withoutgetting your workout. And it WAS a workout! By the timewe left, everyone was getting in good shape. The openingsession begin with a welcome to Auckland by the localMaori people in their costumes. Singing, special musicand preaching made this and each session of theconvention inspirational throughout.

Thursday at 8:15 A.M. Di came for us and took us toWestlake Boys High School, where we were graciously metand escorted by the principal, Mr. CoUn Pascoe, to hisoffice. Couldn't believe this was a public school since it

was ALL boys. What a fine looking bunch of chaps! Wetruly appreciated their manners and respect which wereimpeccable, as was their grooming and dress, each so neatin school attire. They do not have student lockers there,but neatly placed on the patio was each student'sbackpack. The boys must have a secret to know whichone is theirs. There were about 400 boys, and I assumeas many backpacks. They showered Tim with such careand an overwhelming response.

The slide presentation and Tim's art was of great interest, and we enjoyed a time of discussion afterward.Their courtesy continued as they carried our things andsaw us to our car. Certainly Mr. Pascoe and faculty areto be commended for such fine boys. Di's husband, Hugh,is part of this faculty

We scurried on to the next concert and arrived ON

TIME at Thkapuna Normsil Intermediate (co-educational)School. We were greeted by the deputy principal, charmingMr. Pete Morely, and in short order we were in his officeand almost as quickly thereafter, with everyone's help, wewere ready for the concert when 500 beautiful youngpeople filed in. Again, marmers and appreciation radiated.They placed the piano upon a large platform in front ofthe stage, and we placed the art work on each side of thepiano across the stage. The screen for the slides was tothe right. The students were more than a little enthusiastic,and the concert moved right along.

After it was over, the principal asked Jerry and me tojoin Tim on the platform where he had placed a three-seated bench. He told us they in turn had something theywanted to give us and for us to please be seated. The musicteacher came to the piano, the principal motioned for thechildren to rise, and they did, in perfect unison. Thedownbeat, introduction, and then the children started tosing. It seemed like we had been transcended into a tranquil and perfect world as their melodic voices sang OHSO BEAUTIFULLY, "The Rosd' The completed, flawlessrendition left each of us in awe and moved to tears. We

had loved this song, but now it has a meaning and memorynever to be erased from our hearts and minds. I can onlysay, "Thank you, Tkkapuna School, from the bottom ofour hearts!"

As we finished, we hurriedly began collecting our thingsfor still another concert. Mr. Morely said, "We have teaprepared for you!' I told him we were scheduled in justa little bit for another concert. He insisted, so I told himto speak to Di. Mr. Morely ended up calling the otherschool. We found our way to the faculty lounge. Thereawaiting us were all the faculty and plates of goodies andlots of hot tea, coffee, and ICE TEA for Tim. Now hethought that was absolutely the greatest! Sadfarewells On to the Wilson Home and School for

Crippled and Handicapped children. It was not far. Howimpressed we were with this lovely facility and grounds.A more appreciative audience would be hard to find

anywhere, and though many could not express verballyor physically their feelings, their eyes told it all. The staffwas so warm and friendly and assured us they wereencouraged.

When we were again loaded into Di's car, we had timeto sneak in some site-seeing on our way back to our hotel.We had missed the tours scheduled by the group, butcertainly we had NO regrets. We wound our way throughbeautiful Cornwall Park and to the top of "ONE TREEHILL!' ONLY one tree on top of the hill! We were toldthe hill was another dormant volcano with many cratersall around it. I think that hill has to be another misplacedColorado mountain. So STEEP, and smack in the busycity of Auckland! What a scene as our eyes beheldbeautiful sheep gra2dng everywhere on the lush green grass.We gazed upon the beautiful Pohutakawa trees,transplanted in New Zealand from England, drove aroundmiles of beautiful harbor, observed the Queen's Square,and ended up at our hotel ready for lunch.

A bit of a rest was helpful before Hugh came for usand took us to their home for tea, followed by a deliciousNew Zealand dinner. What food... surpassed only by thecompany! Besides Di, Hugh, Jenny, David, and Andy, twolovely young ladies, Jacqui Parker and Nikki Stanfield,from the Christian Foundation for the Disabled were there,all helping Di with the meal. In addition Peter Evans withRadio Rhema and Neville Logan, cartoonist, came fordinner and to do a radio interview for a children's programto be made by Jenny and Tim. She sought answers to herquestions from Tim. Following this they recorded agenerous amount of music. Peter and Neville aren'tdoctors, but they had us in stitches.

We were a tad late for the beginning of the conventionthat evening but arrived in time to be lifted and inspiredby Rod Huron's well prepared and executed and thoughtprovoking message, as we listened with pride. What a funand blessed day! We were, however, very ready for bed,but a time of physical food was important. Rod andAutumn Huron, our friend Bill Moody, and all of us tookadvantage of a nearby McDonald's. As we walked in, aman at a table of young people called to me and Tim."Aren't you the boy who plays the piano?" Tim said hewas. They said they were coming to the concert on Saturday, (and they did); his mother had been to one. We don'tknow how they knew him. A story was in the newspaper,but there was not a picture.

HOW COULD THEY?

Another practice session on the hotel grand. Devastationset in. Someone had severely damaged the magnificentpiano the night before. Stickiness over the keyboard area,liquids had been spilled, and the beautiful black ebonycover was broken. The man in charge assured a very upsetTim it would be fixed by evening when he was to play forthe Bi-Centennial Birthday Celebration Banquet of

Alexander Campbell. He kept his word! Tim will neverunderstand HOW ANYONE COULD do that to a piano.I don't think if someone hit him he would have felt worse.

The banquet was truly lovely, and Tim settled down afterhe saw the piano was A-OK. His attack of force was onlyon the keyboard, but it was dealt in measures of tendernessand certainly love for the beautiful instrument he caressed.Certainly the audience responded to the love he expressed.

Our final concert was held in Green Lane Christian

Fellowship on Saturday afternoon. Again such a wonderful crowd. It was simply more of the same responseas we had had. Tim will remember and cherish being ableto play on the beautiful and unique piano they had. Manyin the audience related with Tim, knowing so well the pathof climbing the mountain. How difficult it can be, butknowing too that ALL things are possible within the scopeof HIS will... .Another radio interview followed and also

a discussion with a lady asking if they could put my bookon tape in New Zealand for the blind. Of course, I wasthrilled.. .and soon all the crowd had gone. There in thequietness of the aftermath of the exhilarating afternoon,Di, Hugh, and others who remained shared tea with us,and we found we were suddenly overwhelmed by havingto say good-bye to this beautiful country and our priceless,beloved, new friends. I wondered HOW such love canpermeate in such short time? I knew ONLY through theLove of God As we arrived back at the hotel, we saidour good-byes to Di and Hugh, vowing to see each othereither there or here if it is again His will. We felt suchemptiness as we packed our bags to leave the next day.There were rain and cool temperatures outside, butnevertheless we had a JOY, JOY, JOY, JOY down in ourhearts!

Beautiful Fiji Islands

HOMEWARD BOUND

The final service of the convention closed with a deepsense of worship and devotion. Dr. John Oglivie, ministerof the First Presbyterian Church, Hollywood, California,brought the stirring message that led to the focal point—a mass communion service—for which he had preparedour hearts. Then after his message we knelt, prayed andsang. Each person took as a souvenir his communion cup,handmade by Mrs. Lyndsay A. Jacobs, the conventionpresident's wife. In closing we linked arms at the elbowsand sang, 'Wow Is the Hour" And truly it was.. .timeto be on our way home, taking with us JOY, JOY, JOY,JOY down in our hearts.

Tim with some Natives on Fiji Island

Winging our way homeward on the B-747 (200 series)was broken up with a stop and sort of R and R, too. Intwo hours and 30 minutes we landed at Nadi of the

beautiful Fiji Islands. Greeted with "BULA" we soonlearned this expression of welcome was for real, as thesecaptivating, native people pampered us! The lush, tropicalsurroundings, right on the beach where we stayed, seemedlike paradise itself. A trip into the village revealed muchof their culture, which was enhanced later by a buffet andthe "MEKE", which is a performance of traditional nativemusic and dance. Tim was captured with the singing andmusic, and Jerry is now sharing it with the students atthe college. A short cruise to Mana Island Resort allowedus to see the beautiful water and islands, but it was morethan a bit rocky. We walked the beach, and I was ableto see my first "BABY OCTUPUS!' I could have lived alifetime without that however. After they served us a lovelybeachside lunch, a bit of .elaxation followed, and thenwe "rocked" back to Nadi. The crew on the ship were suchfun and entertained us singing and playing the guitar. Wecracked up when they broke out with "I've Been Workin'on the Railroad." I got up to go to the back of the ship.

The Little Cruiser

and just as I did, it took a real plunge. One of the fellasyelled out, "Hey, don't rock the boat!" Can't say any ofus weren't glad to get back to shore.

That evening we were awaiting our time to leave. Timsaid a friend he had met wanted to see me. In a very shorttime he had become friends with ALL the musicians atthe hotel, and most were so very, very nice to him. Shewas a lovely, young lady who sang at the resort in thelounge. I finally got things taken care of in preparation10 leave and went to her. She asked if I would allow Timto play, and she could sing. I said well sure if they wantedhim to. She asked me to ask her boss! I said I couldn'tdo that, but he could play if they wanted him. Endresult—Boss was the keyboard man, wasn't anxious forTim to play. The whole band however DID. Tim played,and the BIG Boss was at back shouting, "MORE, TIM!'

The girl wanted to sing with Tim so badly, but the keyboardman still said no. Had the BIG Boss known, I am sureshe could have! As Tim played, people were running inand around from all over and taking pictures (I didn't havemy camera!), as word about him traveled via the grapevineto most of the hotel guests! Wewere able to tell many aboutour work even though the time was short. When his miniconcert was over, the band showered Tim with their care,all EXCEPT the keyboard man. Of course, our tour groupwas there in full force cheering Tim on....

At 12:45 A.M. we piled into the bus heading for the airport. We reluctantly left this beautiful island and her people. With our passports and luggage having been checkedat the hotel, we zipped through security and soon werenestled in our seats. Departure at 3:00 A.M. (Wednesday)was smooth, and a quietness was prevalent throughout theplane until 6:30 A.M. We had crossed the dateline, and wewere back to Tuesday again! Weariness had allowed sleep,and as I awoke, the sun was breaking and the heavens wereablaze with brilliant sunlight. What peace there was! A briefstop in Honolulu and before us the final stretch of the trip.L.A. greeted us with beautiful weather (7:30 P.M.). Baggage was swift to come, and customs was effortless! Wedidn't have to open a bag, except Tim's art work. The manwas so fascinated he had to see each piece. Not sure thefolk behind us liked that Next was the shuttle to takeus home, and we arrived safely at our front door at 9:30P.M. Even though we were totally exhausted, the unendingblessings God had allowed us and just reliving the trip, withthoughts of opportunities He gave us, the joys that wereours, and not forgetting ALL the people who had the samevisions we had and financially helped that all of it waspossible, sleep came slowly. How full and thankful ourhearts for the JOY, JOY, JOY, JOY down in our heartswas overwhelming.

Back to the real world. That included Disneyland forTim. For me, seven huge loads of dirty clothes, and forJerry, LOTS of running. I had brought home souvenirsI would have been happy to leave on Fiji. Surfaced wereMANY bites of some sort (over 55 on my legs and manyon arms, etc.). Poison from this, plus having gotten a flushot immediately upon coming home, zapped me. We aredigging out from all the backlog. I believe we'll so^ beon_top.

THINGS IN THE WINGS \

Excitement prevailed when we got a call from the LOSANGELES MUSIC CENTER asking if Tim could rideon their float in the ROSE PARADE on January 2, 1989.He needed no coaxing. They will have representatives ofthe Philharmonic Orchestra, Master Chorale, and Tim—approximately 40 people on it altogether. We hope you^get to see it.

Holidays 1988 have zoomed in on us. It is frighteningto me to get so caught up in the busy schedule of dailyactivities that we push aside the real meanings. I am sothankful that God has allowed such marvelous blessingsin our lives and pray that we will show that gratefulnessin a greater service to Him. Loving us EACH so very muchthat He sent His blessed Son and allowed Him to die is

more than I can fathom. But knowing Jesus and God'sgreat love brings JOY, JOY, JOY, JOY down in my heart.May we all Serve Him, Because We Love Him, and mayHis Peace be with you in 1989!^ HA j'PY HOLIDAYS and Love Always,
